Terrific post! As someone who teaches with teams a lot (either in-person or in hybrid modes), I appreciate this spotlight on the pros/cons of different ways of interacting.
Hi Tara, thanks for reading! One example I left off this article was about the failures of traditional brainstorming. In short, idea generation generally better when people come up with ideas independently (to themselves) first, before presenting them, rather than shouting them out. While this often managed in person with sticky notes, a technology like Zoom can make it even easier because they can hold announcing ideas and then put them in chat.

This makes sense. Quieter folks have long had to tolerate the louder voices in the room without many alternatives.
Sure gives one something to thing about and plan for as they connect with others.
Delightful reading of insights on this contemporary issue.🙏
